Hi Everybody!

I've been quiet for a while since the last update, so I wanted to let everyone know what we're up to.

As we mentioned a while back, we're trying to put together a demo for our new Monster Girl focused game. Since this game is more graphically focused than Night Games, we do need more art assets out the gate. I also don't have a lot of UI experience in Ren'Py, so I have a lot of placeholder stuff in the battle GUI. I'd like to get it more polished before releasing it, so it's taking a little longer than we originally planned. However, I am dedicated to getting this demo out before switching focus back to the next Night Games update.

Hopefully by then we'll also have come up with a name for the new game. Two years ago, when I first wrote the design doc, I was planning on Monster Girl Specialist for the title. Since then a lot of games with Monster Girl in the title have come out. I'm currently brainstorming alternatives.

I personally also just finished my first week at my new job. Based on past experience, I suspect my game development productivity is going to drop for a bit while I get up to speed at my new job and sort out finding an apartment closer to the office.

Fortunately, our monthly Patreon balance is quite a bit higher now than it was the last time I changed jobs. This means we have the budget to commission freelancers to make up for any productivity I personally lose. Thanks to all your support, we should be able to keep producing more scenes and art.

Also, for our $10+ patrons, I've scheduled the new high resolution art to post over the course of the next month or so.
